XXXChurch: Spouses Blog
It is a fair question to all of us. Has Porn invaded your life? My quick answer would no. I have never seen porn…..I mean I have had an image come up on the screen. When the “internet” was new, I remember people talking about hotmail…..so I went to a computer in the high school library and typed in “HOTMALE” ooooppppppsss. I guess there were not filters back then. But that has been the...
Jesus teaches accountability in Scripture, not to bring punishment, shame, or guilt, but to uplift grace and bring glory to the Father.
God’s grace is about honor and freedom, not bondage. Grace is unmerited and inspiring. It’s compassionate and merciful, not condemning. How can accountability be anything less than that? Too often we allow Satan to distort our view of accountability with God...
It seems that pornography’s influence in our world is more rampant today than ever before! Did you know that 47% of Christians said pornography was a major problem in their home? Did you know 40 million U.S. adults visit pornography websites regularly? You can read more stats here that are really just mind boggling! I’ve done so much research on pornography my eyes have almost become...
Yes, you read the title right. What does God have to do with sex? Or the Holy with the...um…....Humping? EVERYTHING!. God not only invented it, but He called it good! Having a healthy sex life within a marriage is what he CALLS us to! (Can you hear my husband cheering from the other room? Wait, you can't hear it over your own husbands' cheering?) Did you miss that verse in the bible?...
As I watch a video on YouTube from a couple talking about sex toys and swinging, my stomach is literally nauseous. (In case you don’t know, swinging is when a married couple has sex with another couple or another person.) The couple in the video is promoting swinging and actually giving tips on how to be a successful swinging couple. They say that swinging is about having fun; it’s simply...
When the world ponders sex and pleasure, most often genuine intimacy is buried beneath a mountain of sinful acts and shameful motives. The driving force in the pursuit of sexual pleasure has become something centered on novelty, bizarre and mysterious acts, masturbation, and even inflicting or receiving pain. Society continues to go further and further in their quest for the ultimate high,...
There are days in my life where I feel such an overwhelming sense of my flesh. If I'm being honest, I am disturbed at just how much I cater to its desires. I find myself choosing to do things that have no eternal significance when I could be making a difference in someone's life. Or the most popular way I do this is by eating too much of the not so good stuff and not enough of the good stuff....
About a month ago on a Wednesday night some friends and I thought it would be fun to go roller skating, something we haven’t done in close to 15 years. As we laced up our old speed skates (cause the brown, high ankle ones are way not cool) we laughed as we discussed who would be the first to fall on their behind making a total fool of themselves in the crowd of about a hundred 12-15 year...
I don’t know if you have noticed that the blogs have a theme or new flow...but they do. We are trying something new and we are given a topic to write about for each blog. At first I thought I would hate it…but I am enjoying having topics pitched to me. So here was my question for this month:
“How have you encouraged/guided your husband sexually?”
Not going to lie, I giggled like a sixth...
As a wife of a man who was unfaithful, I was always searching for love, security and affirmation. This kept me in constant turmoil and always in pursuit of something or someone to fill the hole in my heart. Thankfully, God took me through a process of healing and taught me where to go to get these needs met so I would no longer have to search. I would love to share with you today a little of...
